Gene expression-based collaborative designer selection and optimization

Aiming at the problem of selecting designers ignoring the consideration of collaborative efficiency during collaborative design process, a modeling method of product innovation designer´s selection is proposed, based on considering the importance of collaborative efficiency. In this paper, firstly, the gene expression about product collaborative designer selection is given. Secondly, two matrixes, which are designer-designer collaborative efficiency matrix and designer-task adaptation matrix, are constructed to form designer selection model. Thirdly, the calculation process of selecting optimal product designers is introduced with an improved genetic algorithm. Finally, an engineering example is given to prove that the proposed model is able to realize optimal selection of designers. At the same time, a good calculative efficiency is obtained with this improved genetic algorithm.
